General Conclusions

Abstract

This book has addressed emerging strategic technologies and their potential impacts on geopolitics and human destiny with an eye to scientific sophistication and comprehensiveness. Using the Science and Technology Studies framework evaluated through the lens of neuro-rational physicalism, it has shown how society and technology are growing and developing in tandem, with each factor driving the development of the other. Knowledge, which has a physical, neuro-biological basis and is based on reason and sense data subject to interpretation, is at the core of this technological innovation.
